Introduction to MyRotary

You will need to access MyRotary in order to complete the Grant Management Seminar or Rotary Foundation Basics courses referred to below.

Grant Management Seminar

The Grant Management Seminar on Learning Centre is the pre-requisite training course for all clubs wanting to apply for a Global Grant.

One member from each Club must complete the 
course on Learning Centre and the subsequent annual Grant Management Recertification course each year that they wish to apply for a Global Grant.

Rotary Foundation Basics Course

The Rotary Foundation Basics course on Learning Centre is the recommended training course for all clubs wanting to apply only for a District Grant.
It provides an overview of The Rotary Foundation, without going into the level of detail of the Grant Management Seminar. 

If a club has completed the Rotary Foundation Basics course in 2024-2025, it will not need to retake the course in order to apply for a District Grant in 2025-2026.
